In honor of September’s National Falls Prevention Awareness week, the Ohio Older Adults Falls Coalition highlighted different fall prevention and aging topics throughout the month. The organization invited members of the LIFT Lab and their collaborators at the Upper Arlington Fire Division to speak on the topic of Community Paramedicine through recorded trainings and presentations. Members from the LIFT Lab had the opportunity to speak on their expertise about Community Paramedicine. The purpose of these videos is to share experiences, ideas and tips for improving implementation of all prevention efforts across the state and nationwide.
We could not be prouder of these team members for spreading awareness and expanding our community’s knowledge on fall prevention.
